Halle Berry Heading Towards A Custody Battle?

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry may have hoped for an amicable split, but internet reports suggest custody issues over daughter Nahla are getting in the way. Radar says Halle has plans to take the kid with her on a three-month film shoot in South Africa, with Aubry already frustrated with his limited access to Nahla. “It’s been pretty difficult for Gabriel to see Nahla the last few weeks,” says their source. “He’s really getting sick of it and it’s getting to the point where he is seriously considering his options regarding pursuing permanent custody. He refuses to give up rights to his daughter, he loves her more than anything and is determined to be a regular, full time fixture in her life.”

The pair reportedly tussled earlier this month over the media coverage of their split, with People suggesting Halle dumped Aubry for not “pulling his weight” while other reports claimed the Catwoman star was the one dumped. Though the pair have reportedly worked out a truce (“Basically Halle is going to pay Gabriel to be a kind of full time nanny and to come to South Africa for the three months she’s there, and to be Nahla’s full-time caregiver”), it sounds like neither side is willing to swallow their pride—a successful model like Aubrey won’t settle for nanny status every time. Could this eventually turn into a legal battle? See photos of the family in happier times in the gallery below.
